what surprised me is that mitt romney won the straw poll. the last two years, ron paul won the straw poll at cpac. this is the 38th year they've come to washington and the fact that santorum went in, i thought he would get it. the fact that mitt romney won the straw poll, i find that impressive. host: ron paul didn't speak this year at cpac. guest: he spent time in maine and came in second in maine. it was a good day for romney. host: highlights from our weekend coverage of the cpac coverage which started thursday, wrapping up yesterday. ann coulter speaking at the gathering. >> even with all this, obama will be very difficult to beat this year. number one, he's an incumbent. number two, americans keep telling pollsters, they like him personally. he's our first black president and the n.f.m., the nonfox media is gaga about him. obama is not mockish like carter, not sleazy like clinton. he'd probably make a lovely next door neighbor as long as you're not chinese then he'd be constantly borrowing stuff.
